Personal Description:

I have an enthusiasm for teaching and enjoy the company of children and young people. I have brought up three sons of my own, all of whom are now independent, and have always enjoyed the input I was able to make to their education. I am a very patient person and relish the chance to further knowledge and achievement, helping the individual to achieve their potential.

Tutoring Experience:

In addition to private tuition work, I have also taught in various subjects and at various levels in a number of schools. I have been Head Teacher of a small preparatory school where I was also Special Needs co-ordinator which means that I have a good understanding of how to tailor lessons to the specific needs of individual children. I have recently been teaching GCSE English and have also taught French at Secondary level. Latin is also a subject in which I have gained a large amount of teaching experience. I have recently worked as a Freelance Tutor on a one to one basis with de-motivated pupils in local state secondary schools.

Tutoring Approach:

I have often been told that I am extremely calm and patient. I feel that it is important to take time to ensure understanding and that a child should gain in confidence throughout teaching. I enjoy finding different and appropriate strategies to enable learning in individual children. I believe that praise is one of the best tools of my trade. Above all, I enjoy the company of children and the challenge and responsibility of teaching them.

SarahFrom Charlotte (5/5): (Primary English)Dear Sarah,
What can I say! My son absolutely loved his time learning with you. After a difficult year at school he was re-inspired and his confidence boosted. Thank you. I chose you because although one of the most expensive tutors in our area you looked like the most experienced, professional and expert. We were both very happy with my choice.
We hope all goes well for you in your new home and wish you hadn't moved!

Reply from Sarah: Dear Charty,

I had such a lovely time with Jazzy - he was a pleasure to teach and it was great to see him blossom and gain confidence.

Thank you so much for your positive comments.

Best wishes to you all for the future.

Sarah

SarahFrom Jack (5/5): (GCSE French)Jack feels as if his French has improved already after only two lessons. He is enjoying the being taught by Sarah and thinks the tuition should make a real difference to his French GCSE exam result.

Reply from Sarah: I am thoroughly enjoying teaching Jack who is an enthusiastic and exceptionally well-motivated pupil. He deserves to achieve an excellent result and we are working to that end.
